Who is this course for: Existing Yoga Teachers who wish to grow in their yoga learning by attaining further certification that deals not JUST with Yoga Postures, but goes far beyond in introducing further practices and Yoga philosophy and Spirituality; in other words, the true essence of Yoga.
This is a "knowledge" course and a self-development course
and so the focus is on the individual

Important:
Please bear in mind that this is a rough schedule of the course during
the weekends. Our Gurus may coordinate with you and reschedule or add
more sessions as they feel necessary
During the course, you will be staying at one of the Ashrams in
Swargashram (Rishikesh) as per availability.
The course and the classes will be conducted at Ved Niketan, which
will be within five minutes distance from your place of stay. The
breakfast and meals will be organised at the Ashram of stay.
This is a Non-Certificate Course

Accommodation:

There
are about 1,000 residential rooms that retain the simplicity of
ashram living and yet are equipped with the necessary modern
facilities. All rooms have attached, Western style bathrooms and
many have hot, running water. All linens are provided. The
ashram provides a clean, pure and sacred atmosphere to thousands
of pilgrims and devotees.

There is no charge for pilgrims or devotees to stay here;
everything is run on a purely donation basis. Whatever visitors
feel inspired and able to give is greatly appreciated, and all
donations are used for the beautification of the ashram and for
the continuation of its services.

Please note that the Ashram stay is basic. Some of our clients
have even described their Ashram stay as a culture shock. Even
though the rooms have all necessary facilities including
beddings, blankets and attached baths, however, please do not
expect a 5-star reception or welcome here. This is NOT a hotel
and for most part you will have to find your way around; of
course, the Healthandyoga team will always be only a simple
phone call away.
